Free Download: Cobra Dukes "Leave The Light On"

Cobra Dukes is Kevin McKay's first project on his brand-new Prestel label. McKay is also a partner in BreastFed Recording that he founded together with Mylo and Linus Love. You might also know him as the man behind Linus Love's critically-acclaimed "Space Invaders." After he helped promoting and mixing Mylo's debut in 2005, he found the talented Cobra Dukes and starting producing them together with pal Marcas Lancaster.

Cobra Dukes' "Leave The Light On" is the group's first single. It is a compelling electro-tune with a quirky rock 'n roll edge to it. Kyle Gibson's David Byrne-esque vocals and Lucas Gianello's gritty guitar riff combined with a bubbling Moog synth beat make this a rather unusual but very accomplished tune to listen (and dance) to. A press release describes the song as "new wave delirium" which sums it up quite nicely.

If you are enjoying this tune, make sure to look out for remixes by Knightlife and Fred & Thang. The single will formally be released on Beatport (July 2), iTunes (July 16) and glow-in-the-dark vinyl (July 30). (A big thank you to Kevin for allowing me to share this MP3.)
